IoSpoN. July l4.-Sir George Trevelyan mas
at last climbed down for good ana all oh NIX
Gladstone's side Of the fence. lie Is oo-oay 'ue
.ooontoa Gladstonian candidate for the Bridge
.o,, divis;on Of Glasgow. A long letter defining
~, nos,tion appcars this afternoon. This BRILL
,antiv written and rather passionate manifesto
contains a declaration Of utter hostility to the
Liberal ,nionists with whom Sir George 1reVel-
van has till lately been acting, reproaches tne"
with their support of the Tory GovernmehS ~
proaches Lord harrington in particular WIZ"
fusing to accept Mr.. Gladstone's propos'i ~,
Conference and denounces the crimes ao. "e

election is believed to be safe His accession uo
voud question is an important reinforcement 10
Mr.. Gladstone, and his reappcaraheo III '"'
of Commons will be an event
On one point, however, this letter is ambiguous
Sir George Ircvelyan parted company with Mr'
Gladstone because his Home Rule scheme hanoeo
over the administration of justice and preserVauoh
of order to an Irish Executive. lie has oeeh
challenged to say whether Mr. Gladstone had maze
concessions on this point which satsheo hiS
scruples. To this query he gives no d1rec1 ah'mei'
but SAYS If we keep the Irish representation
~ wostr,nsrer and II we take careful precautions
for the due administration Of justice ana uAe
enforcement of its DEGREES, we can saieiy anu
with mutual advantage to tho Two countries
establish a legislative body for Ireland WIN III
Irish Executive connected with 1t for the maii-
acemcnt of Irish affairs The Farnenites are
supposed to regard with some distrust sir oeoree
Trevelyan's return to the Liberal party, because
they are resolved on having free executive
hand. Sir George Hevelyan will therefore oo
called on to explain what he means by "careiul
precautions.
Lord Salisbury has thought it worth while 10
contradict the report that he used or adopteo
the phrase animated expectancy" as descrlp
tive of Sir Drummond VOLTS present atntude
at Constantnople The phrase was In kaot Loro
Rosebery's who seems not to share Lord Sahs
bury's notion that such language is disrespectiui
to so great a parsonage as Sir Drummonu Woiu
Lord Salisbury, however, omits to explain that ne
said he would telegraph to ma ouo
whether that was or was not Sir Drummohu
VOLTS condition of mind This question Is noo
perhaps vitally important to the British Empire
but it is as important as good many others
about which the public is now asked to agltate
itself.
Tho report of the resignation Of the Viceroy OF
ireland is absolutely unfounded. Lord London
derry has no intention Of resigning and is at
loss 70 know how the report was started.
Professor Tyndall supplies another contrlbu-
tjon TO that study of American opinion which so
much interests Englishmcn in general and Mr.
Gladstone in particular. Many Americans, says
Professor Tyndall, have written to him on TINS
subject since his former letter. They tell him
the British Government will command their re-
spcct by preserving law and order in Ireland
and will lose their respect If they fail to do
that thing All of them recommend resistance
TO the Irish policy of Mr. Gladstone, which Profes-
sor Tyndall again stigmatizes as wicked and
cowardly surrender lie goes so far as to say
MIR Gladstone is "a desperate gamester, mis-
called statesman"
The Irish are rejoicing over Sir John Hen
nessy's victory in his Maurtius controversy with
MIR. Clifford Lloyd, and still more over Mr..
Lloyd's defeat Sir John Hennessy, according
TO to-day's accounts, will be restored by the
Colonial Minister to the government of Maurihus'
though local feeling is very much against him.
This involves something like censure on Sir
Hercules Robinson Governor OF the Cape, who
WAS sent to overhaul Mauritius and removed Sir
pected to resign Another post will be found
for Mr. Lloyd and Sir John Hennessy himself
will shortly be transferred elsewhither.
The Queens visit to Hatfield has occasioned
both political and social heartburnings. Liberals
grumble at a favor marked being shown TO
Lord Salisbury and ask how long it will be
before her Majesty attends one Of Mr. Gladstones
Saturday afternoon parties at Dolls Hill Proba-
bly good while But Mr. Gladstone has had,
II not the Queen. at least Mr.. Pulitzer. Society
Is grieved because invitations to Hatfield were SO
few. The pressure had indeed boone SO great
that he Morning Post was asked to announce
that no garden party would be given on the occa-
sion of Her Majestys visit Not more than 200
people, beside royalties and attendants on royalty,
were invited. All Ambassadors were left out,
that being most decisive indication OF the
purely private character Of this function.
The Queen has received immense number
OF letters of congratulation on her Jubilee from
